1935. The Estonian Postal Museum, founded in Tallinn in 1935 and dissolved during the Soviet period, was re-established in October 1994 as a unit of the Tartu Post Office. After a break of nearly half a century, systematic collecting relating to the organisation of postal services in Estonia could begin again. Since 1 January 2009, the Postal Museum has been part of ERM.
The museum’s collections include both objects related to the provision of postal services in Estonia from different periods and various kinds of philatelic material. Broadly speaking, the collections are divided into stamp, postmark, archival, photo, object, postal history, and envelope collections, comprising more than 123,000 museum objects in total.
To distinguish Postal Museum materials from other ERM collections, the accession book code PM is used (the numerical field TRT in the Museums Web Portal).
